Racial profiling doesn't have to led to a stripping of dignity. When I was a teenager there was a department store down town who had obviously been hit by teenage shoplifters a few times. If I went in that store at lunch hour I would be followed by one of the staff. If I didn't appear to have a purpose for being there I would be asked if I needed any help. Did I like it? No. But what they did was right. I had the choice to not shop at that store if I didn't like it.

Profiling is only wrong if you pass sentence on the individual without cause. Asking the question isn't wrong.
